IGT 8/9 Alonso on the Seattle Trail Mets vs Mariners 10:10

[ashie62]

Gotta keep the Mojo rising



Jose Quintana goes against Bryce Miller



SNY and MLBN



LGM!

[Benjamin Grimm]

A little while ago I asked Alexa what time the game started, and she gave me the correct answer. The Mets take on the Mariners in Seattle at 10:10 p.m.



Then I asked her who's pitching for the Mets. And she told me that Chris Bassitt would be pitching for the Mets tonight against the Padres.



I suspect that that answer isn't completely accurate.

Alexa is kinda like Wikipedia. It's probably right most of the time, but you can never be certain.

2022 Playoffs answer?

[MFS62]

Are we going to get the good Quintana (Washington) or the bad Quintana (Colorado)?

Mets Fast Forward morning game for me.



But Let's Go Mets!!!

[Edgy MD]

ME: The Mariners are kind of dressed like clowns.



GARY: The Mariners are 9-1 when wearing their City Connect Uniforms.



ME: Then they're 9-1 when dressed like clowns.

[Edgy MD]

Justin Turner looks especially silly.

[Edgy MD]

Second two-out double in two innings.

It's the black pants above all. White or even yellow pants would be better

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, black and blue is always a tough roll, but here they are, winning again.



Three two-out hits for the Mets in three innings, all stranded.

[Edgy MD]

Miller has the fastball away working against both lefties and righties.

[Edgy MD]

Looks like Scott Servais is getting ready to pull Miller after six.



If that's the way it goes down, it would sure be a servais to the Mets.

[Edgy MD]

And instantly a leadoff walk.



And damn, I'm alone AS McNEIL CRACKS A HIT!

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Alvarez sucks

[Gwreck]

Vientos is also so very slow.

[Edgy MD]

Boooo! Booo to getting nothing from a two-on/no-out situation.

[Edgy MD]

Opposite-field dribblers break the camel's back in the seventh.

[Edgy MD]

Well, you may want to cue up your memories of Adam Ottavino.



Rough to watch.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I recall that game he shat the bed vs the Mariners and got himself released

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Zimmo and Alonso suck too

[Edgy MD]

Get tossed, Pete.

[Edgy MD]

Get tossed, Edgy.

In fairness the game was lost before he came in.



Adam survives for now, as Alex Young was optioned for Reed Garrett.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Trolly the right call especially if Young had options. But still, every Otto weakness on full display there, inability to put guys away, control problems and easy to run on. Turned a probable loss into a lockdown

[MFS62]

I read an article about Adam a few days ago in which he cautioned the Mets not to release him. I didn't bother to read beyond the part where he hadn't given up a run an a few consecutive appearances.

That's a whole lotta' hubris from someone who has been pitching like he has been.

[kcmets]

Just made it through Mets Fast Forward, it wasn't easy.



Disgraceful loss in the beautiful road greys. I agree yellow pants

would have been better than the black trousers. 10-1... huh...



That's all I got.

[ashie62]

Bad night at the office

[Cowtipper]

Catching up on some games. This was a rough one to watch. Quintana was decent at first. Ottavino continues to be inconsistent.
